# TeraRanger Rangefinders (Discontinued)
::: warning
TeraRanger Evo sensors were discontinued by Terabee in May 2024.
Limited stock may still be available from third-party resellers such as [Tribotix](https://tribotix.com/product/teraranger-evo-60m/).
:::
TeraRanger provide a number of lightweight distance measurement sensor based on infrared Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology.
They are typically faster and have greater range than sonar, and smaller and lighter than laser-based systems.
PX4 supports:
- [TeraRanger Evo 60m](https://tribotix.com/product/teraranger-evo-60m/) (0.5 60 m)
- [TeraRanger Evo 600Hz](https://tribotix.com/product/teraranger-evo-600hz/) (0.75 - 8 m)
::: info
PX4 also supports _TeraRanger One_ (I2C adapter required).
This has been discontinued.
:::
## Where to Buy
- TBD
## Pinouts
## Wiring
All TeraRanger sensors must be connected via the I2C bus.
## Software Configuration
The sensors are enabled using the parameter [SENS_EN_TRANGER](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#SENS_EN_TRANGER) (you can set the type of sensor or that PX4 should auto-detect the type).
::: info
If using auto-detect for Evo sensors the minimum and maximum values for the range are set to the lowest and highest possible readings across the Evo family (currently 0.5 - 60 m).
In order to use the correct max/min values the appropriate model of the Evo sensor should be set in the parameter (instead of using autodetect).
:::
:::tip
The driver for this rangefinder is usually present in firmware. If missing, you would also need to add the driver (`distance_sensor/teraranger`) to the board configuration.
